JimIII,

I have a stock L (besides Silver Bullet and FTVB) and I'm interested in purchasing this kit. Is there anything else I need besides a tuner (and a proper dyno-tune) to safely hit 500rwhp? Do I HAVE to upgrade my pumps and/or injectors to do this? Thanks.

,Marc

I can see one of those kits making it's way to London UK very soon.
Do you think it will fit in my suitcase.

Any option on a polished version ??

Thanks for pointing out nothing Gator EVER says can be taking serious. Gator I'm talking bout the phone call I got almost 2 weeks ago from you BRAGGING how your NEW DYNO #'S were higher than ANY truck JDM has EVER Dyno'd before. Now we find out it WAS NOT even Dyno'd yet Somethings will never change with you Gator.........

Awesome Kit Jim/JDM, very smart move to make it avail as you did.
Looks Great and Def a great $$$,
(if I didnt have 75K in my pos, I'd jump on that deal)

Good luck selling your KB V, baw hah ah ah ah ah ah

Nice response to the KB price decrease! Makes the Whipple competitive again on price.

Plug Change with Whipple

Well Guys I have just done the plug change without removing the Whipple.
Does not take any longer than a stock set up.
Infact a little quicker if anything despite having my two young assistants asking questions and trying to help ( 3 & 6 year olds )

Passenger side a PITA for #4 but that's normal...

Drivers side - removed intake tube & filter to get at #5 & 6
Removed a few connectors and pulled the loom back off the valve cover in
order to allow a little clearance to remove the coil packs.
Slacken off the fuel rail so it can be moved back a little.
No issues getting to #7 & 8

It looked difficult as first but better than removing the blower, that in itself is not too bad, remove belt and four small bolts plus a few connections.

Truck pulls well with this blower.
Dyno in about 10 days with my buddy George who is going to install my Magnum blower onto his truck next weekend.

Real neat looking kit and easy to install, care needed with electrical alterations and vacuum hoses need a little thought.

Off to find me an SRT 10

anybody interested in my MP ? man that set up sure looks tempting. i suppose i could get a conservative enough tune until i can upgrade the block. i guess i should start skimming the paycheck a little harder. how long will this price stay in effect

Ronnie wants everyone to jock his nuts and gets sad and mad when they don't, then just blames it on everyone else being dumb.

LOL....I actually invented the clapper.......while tripping on LSD. It was 1976...to the best of my memory. Maybe I should cry like a bitch everytime they sell or advertise one of those damned things?


I can't tell ya how much of a kick I get out of dip sh^ts comming on these and other trucker forums wanting some kind of ************ credit for some rediculous inane bullsh^t. Christ all focking mighty...go get a real fricking life and do something besides fireside chats about could've would"ve should've. Who the fock cares anyway? That rates right up there with the, "first to do what da fock ever" at "what da fock ever timeslip", posts.

You want credit for something...be smart enough to market it and sell it. Until then...enjoy your fantasy life...

Ahhh...I feel better now.


Rocks
